Add_Group_Column - Forms4

  Forms V4 - had a problem when adding a longish char column   to a record group in a procedure.

  Add_Group_Column for a CHAR_COLUMN of length 256 returned   a runtime error. Upping the length to 257 got me ONE data   character after a populate. Down to 255 and all was OK.   i.e. the number of chars returned seemed to be knocked   down to just a 7-bit value. 256 translating to 0 length.   

  Tried LONG_COLUMN, but this wouldn't even compile in the   designer (LONG_COLUMN unknown or whatever).    

  Only 3 columns in the record group. No mention of max length   of data for CHAR_COLUMNs (mention elsewhere of 2000 for CHARs).

  Seems a considerable restriction to me - the only data options   in Add_Group_Column are CHAR_ , NUMBER_ , DATE_ and LONG_ COLUMNs.

  FormsV4 4.0.9 on SunOs4.1.3 (is 4.12 out yet????)
